You are invisible and intangible. You fear no physical weapon, for the trappings of the material world are but suggestions to you. You pass through objects at will. Wood, stone, flesh. Liberation from the body has granted you enhanced influence over energy. Bring water to a boil, chill the air, snuff out a flame. You can even dampen and amplify the emotional energy around you. You need only intend.

But is the sword ever not double-edged?

You cannot be held. No sound or song may come from you. No mirror will ever bear your reflection. Your voice? your face? memories lost even to you now. To interact with the physical plane you require a medium, and so communication is more approximation. You’ve become adept with symbol and metaphor — and accustomed to misinterpretation. As you are now of the unseen world, you are privy to its secrets. You have access to information that your embodied counterparts could never and you’ve learned the hard way how easily knowledge overwhelms. You know now to impart wisdom in doses. You know now to reveal yourself in doses. If ever at all.
